If you’re familiar with the name K-Guard and not American Gutter Guard, then know they are one in the same. American Gutter Guards is the exclusive supplier and installer of this amazing product in the Tri-State area (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware). Founded in 1996 by a team of committed contracting professionals, they wanted to transform the current gutter industry with a clog-free solution. The image below is a gutter without clog protection, and is an example of one issue the team wanted to solve.
The purpose of the K-Guard system is to collect rainwater draining from your roof, then channel it away from the base of your property’s foundation. There’s nothing like unsightly watermarks left on your driveway, sidewalks, or down the side of your home because of clogging or a poor installation. The most costly problem is when draining water washes your foundation away and begins its steady path into your basement. The K-Guard seamless system keeps that flow away saving on costly repairs and damage, and our professional K-Guard installers ensure the water is directed away from your property.
The Clog-Free Solution
K-Guard is engineered, integrated, and leaf-free. Our K-Guard system has the stability, volume, and the ascetics your home deserves. This clog-free gutter solution resolves the common issues most homeowners bought into. Issues such as roof damage, water stains, rotting fascia, and safety issues from climbing ladders to clean the trough are all eliminated.
Stability:
The K-Guard system is manufactured with patented, high-strength hangers. These hangers are made from strong, all-weather polymers and are set every 2 feet inside each gutter. They fully support the cover and assist in reinforcing the trough from sagging or losing its form. The support structure extends the lifespan of the K-Guard system beyond the life of your home.
Every K-Guard installation is constructed of heavy-duty aluminum which will never corrode. All coatings on the gutter and hood last over 20 years, and the patented K-Guard hangers strengthen the installation to withstand essentially any weather conditions.
Volume:
The minimum size of these truly effective gutters are 5-inches in width, and the system is able to hold and direct more water than other less comparable systems. Since the gutters accommodate the 3×4-inch downspouts, K-Guard effortlessly rinses out small particles of debris that occasionally enter the trough.
Ascetics:
The K-Guard system has smooth edges and a curved appearance, which in contrast to sharp corners and vertical faces, K-Guard gutter system accents the beauty of your home. Ask our sales consultants at American Gutter Guards about the variety of colors available that make your quality installation virtually invisible, giving your home or property a unique look.

Winter Icing Problems Solved
If you’ve ever seen this unsightly deicing system on roofs, then you must see American Gutter Guards’s answer to these ugly cables. What is known as Heat Tape melts the ice build up caused by blocked water flow. Ice and snow can cause extensive damage to your roof by allowing the wood to sit in absorb water, once the water soaked wood freezes, it expands and splits the roof panels making it easier for insects and rotting to take hold. American Gutter Guards has the perfect solution to melting the ice and snow, and maintaining the clean beautiful look our product in known for.
When you ask for the Heat Tape option, our professional installers mount patented brackets inside the gutters. Once the brackets are in position, Heat Tape is installed over the brackets, and then the covers are mounted enclosing both the Heat Tape and brackets. The Heat Tape rests against the inside top of the covers, warming the snow and ice into water, and allowing drainage away from your property. You never see any components because the entire system is closed, leaving a clean look to your home.
Remember, even if you have a previous installation of our product, the covers can be remove to retrofit the Heat Tape option.
